Summary

Hypertension, particularly if poorly controlled, appears related to an increased risk of open angle glaucoma, (the high tension type of glaucoma is characterized as optic nerve degeneration with ocular hypertension). so this study will search response of glaucoma to breathing exercise

Detailed description

Hypertension, particularly if poorly controlled, appears related to an increased risk of open angle glaucoma, (the high tension type of glaucoma is characterized as optic nerve degeneration with ocular hypertension). With a random assignment, sixty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will be assigned to breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing) group (n=30 geriatrics) or waiting list geriatrics. the daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour).

Conditions

• Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
• Hypertension

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	breathing exercise	Thirty hypertensive geriatric with high tension type primary open angle glaucoma will perform breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing). The daily breathing exercise will be performed by the geriatrics in evening (for half an hour) and morning (for half an hour) for one month.
